As I have said for year: #climatechange is #water change. Water or lack thereof is what impacts people the most, directly or indirectly. This is why being both a water scholar & a climate scholar makes me immediately wonder about histories & #geopolitics around water in all climate #disasters. #maui is an example.

#Russia justification for the war in #Ukraine number 315 is a fantastic mix of #geopolitics conspiracies involving volcanoes, and voiced not by a low-rank propagandist but by a top official from Putin’s administration:

The safest place on Earth, should the US dormant volcano Yellowstone erupt, would be Eastern Europe and Siberia. This is precisely why the West is keen to get hold of Heartland. Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said this in an interview with Izvestiya. “If it (Yellowstone volcano. - Ed.) wakes up, it will be an unprecedented catastrophe. It is capable of eruptions thousands of times greater than known to mankind. Observations show that the volcano is becoming more active as the years go by, with magma reaching the surface at a rapid rate. The number of earthquakes in the surrounding caldera is also increasing, reaching two thousand per year,” said Patrushev.
